I've hit a conundrum to which I cannot seem to find a solution. When a diversion that doesn't fit on the last page of a document and has to be deferred to the next (ie a float) is followed by a few lines of type that don't reach the bottom margin, processing stops at the end of the text and the diversion is never output. '.em' is useless in this case, since it exits as soon as there's a page break, and a page break is the very thing needed.
The only conceptual solution I can come up with is tricking groff into seeing a partially collected line that carries over to the next page, but I'm at a loss as to how to implement it. Does anyone know of a way around this problem, or will I have to write yet another "Oh, by the way, you might experience this groff oddity so this is what you have to do to overcome it" bit of documentation for the mom macros? On another note, I've been attacking mom's lagging pre-processor support, much thanks to Robin Haberkorn. 'refer' has been in place for a while, of course, but 'tbl' is now complete, and 'eqn' is almost done. That leaves only 'pic'. I hope to be committing to the git repository by the end of the month. Happy New Year, everyone. -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
